P1 workload

1) Ah, my DD didn't say that the colouring one is to colour in class so she got up early one morning to finish colouring it. The writing part and half the colouring were already done in school.

If colouring is required, my DD likes to use many colours, even for just one horse, and will colour very neatly and slowly. Maybe that's why she had to bring it home to do as homework?

1) My boy's half coloured piece of same worksheet is still sitting in his folder. I am waiting for teacher to write a note to me if he really misunderstood the instructions.

That's the difference! If the teacher said 'you CAN colour it', he'll interpret it as an optional activity and just not bother about colouring. All his animals are in one colour only.....I think some K1 students colour better than him!

Spelling starts next Friday.....

Hi jedamum,


Can share what sort of spelling words your child has?

I think correct word is maximise use of teachers, so much so that teachers complain a lot of time used for unproductive work or admin stuff.

jumped
screamed
paddled
said

etc...

I think unless the teacher sound out the past tense intentionally (eg '-ed'), my boy will just write the words in present tense...like when I tested him just now (before he see the list).

Hi


Last year, when I was browsing through this site, I came across some info regarding a test conducted by MOE (surprise test for P1 kids). But I could not find the correct link/thread now. Anyone of you can help me on this issue?

Or can you share the info regarding this test (probably in Feb?)? What kind of questions oe what topics will be asked? Does it include mother tongue as well?

Thanks in advance!
